There is no way they'd put something in the trailer that would allow you to figure that out conclusively. They have to know that people are going to pick apart every frame of this. In fact, I think it's not unlikely that they put that in there to get us all to double down on "that's definitely where Han dies" and throw us off of something else. I'm not saying I think he lives, but I really can't believe thats what this shot is.

I've seen people comment that they're absolutely sure it's just about every character, now. Finn, Chewbacca, Leia, Han, even Luke and Kylo. I totally agree that the shot would have never made it through the layers of review before release if it was so such a simple spoiler. It'd never have made it past JJ alone.

It was actually a great move on their part, given how much discussion and probably misleading it has created.
